Pokémon: Adventures with Sirona

“The root of the potato doesn’t go all the way to the center. Now with Girona though, the indentation gets in the way and all you can do is scrape off the surface of the sprout. So a little bit of overdoing is okay.”, so be good Care for the buds. "

"Yes!"

Chapter 98 One-to-One Guidance

I imitated Kem while picking the sprouts, and was sometimes stopped because I was not good with the knife, and although it took some time, I was able to get the potatoes ready.

I just peeled off the onion skin and finished the vegetable prep.

"how?"

"It's probably like this at first. Then, next time I'll chop the vegetables."

Cam picked up a carrot and deftly chopped it into bite-sized pieces.After a while, the carrots were chopped into bite-sized pieces.

"Don't you see? I didn't say the same thing. Let's imitate it for now."

"Yes, I will try."

Sirona also picked up a carrot and put it on the cutting board.

Then he raised the knife high to the sky.

"stop"

"?"

"what are you going to do?"

"Sliced ​​Carrots"

"Then why are you holding the knife so high?

"It's so difficult, I can't cut it with my own strength."

"Don't cook with a raw barn. The knife is so sharp that it can cut a person's finger, and it can be cut off with a little force."

I was a bit surprised by what he saw, but Kem continued with his comment.

"As I said before, basic cooking doesn't require a lot of strength. I train to give me muscle strength, but not every mother in the world does muscle training, right? They do."

"Of course I understand"

"According to the current method, if you miss the target, you can cut your hand.

"why?"

“If the blade of the kitchen knife doesn’t extend beyond your hand, you can’t cut your hand.

Cam interrupted his words, and picked up Blackie and Gracia who were under their feet.Then he took both hands and turned them towards Sirona.

"The hand that is held is the hand that imagines Blackie or Gracia."

"What do you mean?"

"Show me another example"

Cam put the two down and chopped vegetables with about half of his fingers.Indeed, I didn't use a lot of strength, nor did I lift the knife higher than my base hand.

"Of course, there is no kitchen knife higher than your hand."

"Is it? Human blood can cause food poisoning. Even if it doesn't, it's better not to get hurt. So this is an action to minimize that risk."

"Why are your hands rounded?"

"If you hold a knife normally, the height of your hand is too low. Even if you use the knife from a low position, you may cut your hand. In addition, if your hand slips and you fail to aim, your fingers will be cut." By doing this, you can ensure that your hand is cut. height while reducing the risk of cutting even if your aim is misaligned. "

"Is there any reason for this?"

"Try it."

As Kem said, Sirona curled up her hands and started to cut the carrots, but because the kitchen knife was not very easy to use, she couldn't cut much.

"You're still putting in too much extra power, I wouldn't say you're completely out of power, but putting in too much effort is pretty dangerous."

"I know, but I've never used a knife so I'm really nervous"

The most experience I have had with cutlery in my life so far has been a knife used for crafts.If you've never used a kitchen knife before, I can understand why they can be intimidating.

Think about what to do.In fact, I remember being terrified the first time I used Kem.It is basically impossible to get used to the knife in such a short time.

no solution anymore.so be it.

Cam turned around behind Sirona and put his hand on Sirona's hand.

"Oh!"

"I'll do this until there's no more danger. Learn how to cut it a certain way."

"…yes"

Sirona blushed and nodded slightly.Feeling Cam's body temperature and smell, I moved my hand according to Cam's guidance.

"A..."

Cam's strength is very weak.But it can still cut vegetables properly.

"cut off"

"Isn't it? That's it for the carrots. Shall I start chopping the onions myself?"

Sirona followed her instructions and started cutting carrots.

At that time, not only was there always a sign of Kem nearby, but there was not much difference in height, so you could feel the smell and breath of Kem on the back of the neck.Also, I couldn't calm down because I could hear commands in my ears.

"Focus"

Cam suddenly blurted out as if he realized he was distracted.

Yeah, sorry.Already very close

"Can you do it alone?"

"I can't please give me more."

Sirona's face turned red, but she offered to continue.

I don't mind, but I don't mind.Instead, I'm happy to have you by my side, and since I can't actually, I've decided to ask you to guide me a little more.

"Then just concentrate."

Cam said so to Sirona, and then continued to guide her.

Only Blackie and Gracia at his feet noticed Cam's ears were red too.

ー ー

After 10 minutes, I successfully cut all the vegetables.

I made the carrots as Kem directed, but then Sirona cut all the onions and potatoes herself.It took me a long time to finish cutting them because they were all different sizes, but I was able to do it on my own because I was able to memorize them with Kem's guidance.

"I made it"

"Sure enough, it looks worse than Kemcho's vegetables"

"I don't want to ask people who have been devastating from the start.

"Grown up, right?"

"Oh. You can be confident."

"Thank you"

To be honest, my maturity is at the level of a baby crawling, but when it comes to fighting, thinking that I have encountered a similar situation, and Sirona may have the same feeling, I smile bitterly in my heart.

"Phase one is now over."

“This is the first time”

"Are you dizzy?"

"Honestly, but it's fun to be able to do new things."

"You mean upgrading?"

"Huh, maybe. It's tiring, but it's also fun."

"It's okay. Well, next time."

Cam took the meat out of the refrigerator and put the pot on the stove.

"The next step is the baking process. Do you know how to do it?"

"I can bake! Put all the ingredients in and put it on the fire!"

"different"

"Uh?"

"Roughly speaking, there's nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't work very well."

Cam laid out all the ingredients and showed Sirona.The order is there for a reason, so I asked Sirona what it was.

"The ingredients that need to be baked this time are all baked in this order. Do you know the order?"

"in this order"

"The tip is the baking time."

Hearing that it was time to bake, Sirona turned her head.

The earlier in the roasting sequence, the longer the roasting time.I think this might be the answer.

"Dragon, should you turn the roast?"

"70 points"

"what"

"There's nothing wrong with that, but it's not enough. Simply put, it's about ranking by how easy it is to cook."

"How easy is fire to go through?"

"Yeah, things that need to be well cooked, such as meat, basically you can't eat raw meat. As for vegetables, I will cook them in curry this time, so I won't eat them." Don't worry really. "

"I understand…"
